I am evaluating theTextDynamic control with an access adp and a sql server 2000. It only works if I bound the TextDynamic control to an image field on the database server to store the data.
Until now the RTF data is stored in a text column, this mean all the data have to be transfered into another column using an image datatype. This would no be a big issue. But the problem is, that there is also a ms wordmacro using the same database column to read the data.
Can you tell me, how I can convert the binary stream back into real text (what RTF format is) WITHOUT useing the TextDynamic control? Because the wordmakro has just to collect the data in the rtf column to insert them into a serial letter. Using the TextDynamic for ths serial letter too is not possible, this is part from a bigger project and the customer want to use ms word for this. The TextDynamic is only for the access adp application.
thank you
